At top of their voices, One A-Chord singers praise God
BY JEFF FALK
Music is a gift from God. Singing is using that gift to worship God. Singing well is a way of glorifying Him.
One A-Chord Ministries shapes diversity into unity in the
name of God, and the common denominator is music.
“I love being able to teach people and lead people in how to use their gifts,” said Amy Fennimore, who’s been the president of One A-Chord Ministries and the choir director for a dozen years. “I want to challenge them to be their best
and give their best. I always tell (the singers) that God deserves their best. When we give our best, He is honored.”
One A-Chord Ministries is a nondenominational, seasonal community choir that seeks to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the community through song.
The choir’s 100-plus members range in age from 20 to 90 and hail from all parts of Lancaster County and beyond.
One A-Chord Ministries is not affiliated with any one church, but its members represent 50 churches across the county. The group rehearses regularly
at Calvary Church, 1051 Landis Valley Road, Lancaster.
“They are people who love the Lord and worship the Lord,” said Fennimore. “They are people who want to have an opportunity for group ministry within the choir. ... They have a heart to bless the community.”

The story of Stan
BY ANN MEAD ASH
The influence that the late Stan Deen had on New Holland - as a teacher, a director, and a member of the community - is well known. Stan, who passed away in July of 2016, founded Garden Spot Performing Arts (GSPA), the Garden Spot High School (GSHS) auditorium is named for him, and, according to Mike Ressler, chair of the New Holland Area Historical Society (NHAHS) board of trustees, “Everybody (who knew him) has a Stan Deen story.”
However, it was a chance meeting between NHAHS founder
Steve Loewen and Nate Deen, who was taken in by Stan as a GSHS student and on whose life with Stan the soon-to-be-released film “Brave the Dark” is based, that has resulted in an exhibit called “The Remarkable Mr. Deen.” The display will take up the main room of the NHAHS Museum, 207 E. Main St., New Holland. No end date has been set for the exhibit. Nate and Loewen were both at a movie at Penn Cinema in early 2024. Their short conversation in the lobby led to lunch and to Nate visiting a car show Loewen organized in mid-July - bringing along the 1973 Camaro Z28 that was used

If you need anything in West Earl Township, just ask Jenna
BY JEFF FALK
Jenna Reigle wears many different hats, of all sizes, shapes and colors. But every one of them fits her perfectly.
Reigle is West Earl Township’s manager, a position she’s held for the last five years. She’s a problem solver and a mediator and has a wealth of local information, and her skills include flexibility, ingenuity and a focus on details.
Reigle is also a public servant,
the individual behind the scenes who makes everything in West Earl run smoothly. She’s the person no one knows, and she’s the person everyone knows.
“I’m one of those people who doesn’t need to know what’s going to walk through that door,” said Reigle. “Kind of like, ‘Oh, that’s the first time I’ve heard of that. Let’s do some research on that.’ I love helping people. Things just pop up. Things are put on us.”
As West Earl Township’s manager, Reigle has a slate of duties

that include managing personnel, authoring and then implementing the budget, creating meeting agendas and advising and serving as a liaison between the community and the township’s five elected members of the board of supervisors. Reigle is also charged with running the day-to-day operations in West Earl Township.
“I’d say at least 75% of what I do is administrative,” said Reigle. “I would absolutely classify myself as a public servant. I work for the township, and I work for the members of the local community. A lot of what we do is time sensitive, and we want to make sure residents feel like they’re being heard. It’s important for them to know they’re being heard.”
Reigle works more than 45 hours each week, including attending about five township meetings each month.
“There’s nothing typical about it,” said Reigle. “I’m on call 24/7, 365 days
a year. If an emergency involving anything but the police arises, I’m available. I get calls from employees at home all the time.”
West Earl is nearly 18 square miles in size and is bordered by East Earl Township, Upper Leacock Township, Manheim Township, Akron Borough and Ephrata Township. West Earl Township is home to 8,560 residents and 24 miles of roads.
To its residents, West Earl offers water service, trash service, a compost facility and recreational resources like parks, walking trails and playgrounds. The West Earl board of supervisors meets at 7 p.m. on the second and fourth Mondays of every month at the township building, 157 W. Metzler Road, Ephrata.
“We try to keep the communication lines open between the residents and the township,” said Reigle. “We want to make sure residents understand the whys of what we’re doing. Everything we do is designed to make things in the township better. We’re always trying to come up with creative ideas to communicate with the community.”
Reigle’s work is supported by five in-house township employees. West Earl Township also operates a 12-member police department and a four-member road crew.
“I’m a problem-solver,” said Reigle, a graduate of Cocalico High School. “I feel like I bring a unique eye to a situation, and I don’t take things personally. People are usually calling us when they’re not having a good day. I’m constantly learning new things every day. We may not know something, but give us some time and we’ll come up with an answer for you.”
“My absolute favorite thing is that in local government, you can come into a meeting voice a concern and things actually happen,” continued Reigle. “I love seeing the problem addressed. I don’t think people realize how close they are to local government. People come in and actually find a result.”

Event to mark 500th anniversary of Anabaptism
An event celebrating the 500th anniversary of the Anabaptist movement will take place from Monday to Wednesday, Jan. 20 to 22, at Petra Church, 565 Airport Road, New Holland.
Worship and prayer will take place daily at 10 a.m., and sessions will be held from 1 to 5 p.m. and from 7 to 9 p.m. The sessions were created with input from various Anabaptist groups.
The Anabaptist movement was sparked on Jan. 21, 1525, during the Reformation by the rebaptism of three young leaders. Anabaptists include the Amish, Mennonites, the Brethren in Christ, and Hutterites.
The event will celebrate the anniversary through six primary areas of focus: remembrance, reverence, reflection, repentance,
rebaptism, and re-mission. This 500-year mark of the believer’s baptism will also offer an opportunity to look to the future. For more details, call Lloyd Hoover at 717-3816641 or Dave Smucker at 717-740-2989. People may also speak with Elmer Fisher, Ken Reinford, Josh Smucker, or Reuben Stoltzfus.
Registration is recommended; to register, visit www.allianceus.org/ the-invitation.
The Story of Stan
in “Brave the Dark.” More meetings and a tour of the NHAHS museum followed. “I said (the museum has) got to do something in conjunction with the movie,” said Loewen.
Nate agreed, noting that Stan had done much for New Holland, but that others deserved credit as well. “To honor Stan is awesome,” he said. “But there are many in this community (who get involved). That’s what I love about this community.”
Stan was born in Lancaster, and he graduated from Penn Manor High School and later Millersville State College. Stan had developed a love for theater at an early age, and he moved to California, where he was an actor with the Pasadena Playhouse. Eventually, Stan returned to Lancaster, and he taught at Solanco High School for a few years before moving to GSHS. “When Stan arrived at GSHS in 1967, immediately, he organized a play,” recalled Ressler. Working together with teacher Frank Palumbo, Stan founded GSPA. In pulling together artifacts for the exhibit, Nate found multiple comments from ELANCO School District superintendents calling GSPA’s most recent production “the best one yet.”
“Stan wanted everyone to be involved,” recalled Nate, who is now a director as well as a producer but admitted he had no interest in theater prior to meeting Stan. “If (Stan) heard (an athlete) was hurt and couldn’t play, he would invite him to be in the show.”
Ressler played in the orchestra for GSPA shows both as a student and as a professional musician following graduation. “(Stan) would get some professionals into the mix and the kids would learn from them,” recalled Nate. Loewen was involved in GSPA both before and after the 1976 car accident that left him paralyzed from the chest down. Loewen recalled working with the stage crew when Stan asked him to take over a part for a student who had dropped out. When Loewen said he preferred to stay backstage, Stan visited Loewen’s parents to enlist them in persuad -
ing him to take the part. Later, during a production of “Winnie the Pooh,” a wooden and paper tree was crafted around Loewen’s wheelchair so that he could greet children and others in the lobby prior to the play.
NHAHS vice chair Wilbur Horning remembered Stan’s legacy of pairing students in romantic roles who then went on to marry. “Many marriages were created by Stan,” said Horning, who noted a former New Holland pastor and his wife were cast as the leads in “Brigadoon” and that siblings Hillary and Josh Martin, who took over GSPA several years ago, are the children of a couple that was brought together by Stan.
“The Remarkable Mr. Deen” will include items pertinent to Stan’s life with special attention to his influence in New Holland. The camera used by Stan’s father in his work for Hamilton Watch will be on display, as will a Christmas tree signifying Stan’s mother’s love of the holiday. An area is devoted to Stan’s GSHS desk, and photos of Stan are placed throughout. Pointing out the differences between his and Stan’s backgrounds - Nate has referred to Stan and himself as Barbra Streisand vs. Metallica - Nate noted the large number of photos of Stan as a child. “I have thousands of pictures of Stan,” said Nate. “Stan was born in 1937, and I have pictures from his first birthday in 1938. I didn’t have a first picture until I was 6.”
One area of the exhibit
will be devoted to “Brave the Dark” with an actual movie poster and props from the film. “Stan’s jacket will go here,” said Nate, who added that “Brave the Dark,” star Jared Harris wore Stan’s actual jacket in the movie. “(Harris) was so honored to wear that,” shared Nate.
The NHAHS Museum is open each Thursday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There is no admission fee. Nate is hoping to provide some group tours when he is available. To arrange for a group tour, readers may call 717-354-2049 and leave a voicemail. Tours will be free, but donations are appreciated.

Keep bathrooms clean to reduce health risks
Homes are often characterized as sanctuaries for their inhabitants. When a home is warm and welcoming, it can be the perfect place to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Although no one wants to imagine danger lurking in their homes, certain areas of a home, including the bathroom, can pose health risks if they are not properly maintained. In addition, issues that can affect residents’ health may not always be so visible, which underscores how important it can be to learn about the various ways to keep a bathroom clean so it does not make anyone sick.
- Routinely inspect tiles and caulk. Mold is one of the biggest potential health risks that can develop in a bathroom. Damage to tiles and caulk can foster mold growth. When caulk cracks or separates from tile or any other surface where it is applied, moisture can get in and lead to conditions that promote the growth
of mold. The same process can unfold with cracked tiles, so it is imperative that damaged caulk is removed and areas are recaulked.
Cracked or damaged tiles also should be replaced to reduce the risk of mold infestation, which can trigger allergic reactions and exacerbate issues like asthma.
- Replace a malfunctioning bathroom fan. Bathroom fans that are not working at peak capacity can lead to moisture issues and adversely affect indoor air quality. A bathroom fan that vents into the attic can lead to mold growth in that area of the home. In addition, malfunctioning bathroom fans can contribute to moisture issues that result in mold growth. Bathroom fans that direct air outside of the house as opposed to an area like an attic can lead to healthier air and help to reduce the risk of moisture problems in the bathroom.
- Clean sink fixtures. The world was reminded of the
benefits of handwashing during the COVID-19 pandemic, when public health officials noted how easily viruses can spread after people touch door knobs, handles, and other surfaces contaminated with germs. This problem is present with bathroom fixtures as well. People should routinely clean faucets, handles on sinks and toilets, doorknobs, and light switches in the bathroom to reduce the risk of contact with germs.
- Replace shower curtains regularly. The Cleveland Clinic notes that various types of bacteria and mold can form on shower curtains and liners. These bacteria and mold can cause illness in some people, particularly if they already have compromised immune systems due to a preexisting condition or the common cold. If shower curtains and liners are showing their age, replace them immediately. Even if there are no visible signs of bacteria or mold growth on a shower curtain or liner, individuals can still replace them every six months or at least once per year.
Various health issues may be lurking in bathrooms. Taking steps to prevent such issues can help people to ensure their bathrooms are not making them sick.
Short-term fitness goals for long-term success
At the start of each new year, millions of people sets goals they hope to attain in the coming months. In a Forbes Health/OnePoll survey of 1,000 adults in the months leading up to the start of 2024, nearly half of respondents indicated that improving their physical fitness would be a top priority over the course of the new year.
Fitness-based resolutions are popular every year, but it can be difficult to achieve them. In fact, the Forbes Health/OnePoll survey found that roughly 44% of respondents said their resolutions flamed out at the two- or threemonth marker. Although there is no one-size-fits-all strategy for sticking with and ultimately achieving a resolution, breaking down the resolution into shortterm goals can help people stay motivated and achieve long-term progress.
For example, people seeking to lose weight may aspire to do so incrementally. Weight loss goals were
the fourth most popular New Year’s resolution for 2024 among participants in the Forbes Health/OnePoll survey. Although that survey separated fitness goals from weight loss goals, the two are certainly linked. Individuals who aspire to lose 10 pounds undoubtedly recognize that such a goal cannot be achieved overnight, so they may aspire to lose small amounts of weight at predetermined intervals. For example, if the end goal is losing 10 pounds, they may aim to lose two pounds by the end of January. Incremental progress can motivate individuals to stay the course and ultimately propel them toward achieving a more substantial, long-term goal.
Exercising for a predetermined number of days each week can also be a stepping stone to greater achievements. Individuals accustomed to a sedentary lifestyle can resolve to exercise three days per week in the first month of their res-
olution and then increase that by a day in the second month. A consistent schedule when designing this goal is imperative, which is why it can make more sense to plan for three days per week as opposed to 12 days per month.
Goal setters may consider getting fit by walking a mile each day to start. Walking is a cardiovascular activity that can have a profound effect on overall health, and it can help condition sedentary individuals’ bodies for more strenuous activity. A daily 1-mile walk will not require a significant commitment of time, but as the effects of a daily walk begin to take hold, individuals may find it easier to engage in more strenuous physical activities.
Short-term goals can help people remain motivated as they pursue more substantial goals that take longer to achieve. Such an approach can be especially useful for individuals resolving to improve their physical fitness in the new year.
Volunteering can be good for your health
Volunteering has a positive influence on communities and people in need, but it can also be beneficial for the volunteers themselves. Volunteering may lead to better physical and mental health, among other benefits.
According to an article published by the American Heart Association (AHA) and Jeffrey Burr, a professor of gerontology at the University of Massachusetts Boston, volunteering can help to combat depression and anxiety and increase self-esteem, happiness, and a sense of meaning in life. Burr and the AHA note that the health benefits of volunteering occur among people of all ages, and a deep look at how volunteer efforts are good for personal health shows just how profound giving back can be.
The Mayo Clinic reports that volunteering reduces stress and increases positive, relaxed feelings by releasing
dopamine. When volunteers spend time in service to others, they report feeling a sense of meaning and appreciation, both of which can have stress-reducing effects. AmeriCorps reports that volunteering can provide a sense of purpose in older adults, which can help replace feelings of inadequacy due to loss of major role identities, such as wage earner or parent. This sense of purpose can improve life satisfaction and happiness.
According to researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, older adults who volunteered for at least 200 hours annually decreased their risk of high blood pressure by 40%. Lowering blood pressure may also lower the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Volunteers working together link people to others and their communities. This connection can help people overcome feelings of isola-
tion, which may come from being new to a community or being a senior and having a smaller social circle.
Those who volunteer regularly may be happier and more empathetic toward others. Volunteering also instills a sense of pride that can make people happier.
Individuals who volunteer can improve their cognitive health as well. That is because volunteering engages people in new skills, requires them to solve problems, and keeps them mentally stimulated through various activities.
Some volunteer activities will involve physical tasks that can contribute to improved physical health because they constitute moderate exercise.
Volunteering offers a number of benefits that can improve both physical and mental health for those donating their time to help others.
One A-Chord
“It’s a wonderful experience to work with a group of people and accomplish something,” Fennimore continued. “Music is art, and we’re doing it together. We strive to do it to the best of our ability. Our choir has really developed a sense of family. It’s more than just an activity. (The members) love each other and pray for each other.”
Each year, One A-Chord Ministries performs a handful of concerts during both the spring and fall/winter seasons. The community choir sings at churches, retirement communities and events to audiences that sometimes number more than 500 listeners.
Fennimore noted that music has been part of worship services for a long time.
“In today’s world, as contemporary worship has grown, I think it’s important to embrace the new and contemporary music and continue to honor the traditional,” said Fennimore. “Music is a wonderful way to speak to the heart and soul in ways that words can’t. As the director, I try to incorporate different styles into the concerts. I am very aware that we have audiences made up of many differ -
ent backgrounds.”
Fennimore acted upon an idea to have a community choir stage a concert even before One A-Chord Ministries officially became a nonprofit in 2013. The choir’s growth has simply been a validation of that idea’s value.
“It came out of a desire of singers wanting to do more,” said Fennimore.
“We got people to come (to the concerts), and it grew from there. I still have a lot of the singers who were with us back then. We’ve had a lot of members come and some go. Over the years, we’ve grown and matured musically. I’ve been able to challenge (the singers) more musically. Their music skills have grown over the years.”
“Another way we’ve grown is in our relationships,” she added. “We’ve had many opportunities to sing at many places. Our passion is a love for the Lord. We want to energize people to worship the Lord through the gift of music. It’s important for believers to come together, and music can be a catalyst to make that happen.”
